The following story is told as
illustrating General Won Moltke's near
ness. One day he stopped at an inn
and asked for a glass of beer. The
landlord. instead of drawing the COM
mon five-pfennig beer, thought the
General should have the 'dOuble" or
ten-pfennig beer. The Field Marshal
praised the beer and placed on the
table a ten-pfennig piece, which the
landlord took. MOltke left without
saying a word. A few days later he
visited the same inn again, and ordered
glass of beer. Again double beer
was brought. Motke said: When I
was here last l gave you ten-pfennig.
and as you gave me nothing back I
was five-pfennig to the good. so that
we are now straight" The landlord
remarked that he had drawn double
beer. which cost ten-pfennig. 'Oh.
but did not order double beer" said
the great soldier, and he drove away.

THE TON THUMB,
1t Is Said to Show % Feet Of High.
Grade Smelling Ore.

A big strike is reported in the Tom
Thumb mine, Lava district. The ore
is a carbonate, and said to be as free
smelling as was ever seen in HALEY.
The frst-class goes 1870 ounces in
silver and IS per cent. in lead per
ton; the second-class goes 125 ounces
in silver and 40 per cent. lead. The
vein is said to be ~ feet wide.
The mine is owned by DR.. Mckay
and Messrs. Brown and Cederholm, of
this city. When DR.. Mckay heard of
the strike, a few days ago, he was SO
excited that he insisted on going
there, although very ill. AS he was
unable to ride horseback, they put a
good mattress in a wagon and took
him out there. He is expected back
in day or two, when further details
of the strike will be obtained.

THE BUCKSKIN ORES.
They Will be Milled at Vienna by C..
j. Johnston.


The first day Of Septembe. Chris.
Johnston assumed charge, es man.
ager, of the Buckskin mining prop.
erty, in Custer county, with the inten-
ton of pushing developments as rap.
idly as possible, aud starting the vi.
emma mill up on Buckskin ore. The
Buckskin mine has great deal of ore
in sight, and the Vienna mill, which
is 6rst-class in every respect, happen.
ing to be idle, and there being a good
wagon-road from the mine to the mill,
it was perhaps to be expected that
the arrangement above mentioned
should be made.
The Buckskin is a splendid gold
property, situated in Custer county
but owned in St. Louis. There are
two large veins about 200 feet apart
on the same location, and both veins
are good, there being three feet of
ore in each one, and the lodges crop
ping nearly the whole length of the
location.
The ground being in a very acces.
sible locality, the ore can be hauled
to Vienna uninterruptedly until the
snow shall put stop to all travel up
the Salmon, except on snowshoes.

Re0pening Of the Select School.

The Wood River Select School, OF
HALEY, reopens on Monday, the 9Th
of September. AS has been already
stated, the school is equally open to
pupils of all denominations. Catholic
children receive instruction in their
faith; but any interference with the
religious belief of other pupils is
carefully avoided. Besides the usual
branches Of practical and useful ed
ucation, habits of order and industry
are inculcated, and conscientious at
tention is given to the moral and pc.
lite culture of the pupils.

A DRUNKEN REPRESENTATIVE.
A United States Minister PleHipOten
tiary DiSgracing His Office.


Hon. George w. Merrill, of Eu-
reka, New, who was appointed by the
Cleveland administration to succeed
Hon. Rollin NJ. Daggett as United
States Minister Plenlpetentiary to the
Sandwich Islands, is acting far from
credi.ably to himself and his friends,
as the following extract from the
Washington Capitol of August 14th
testifes:
No paper that have seen during
the past week has commented on the
facts which have come to light in re.
gard to Mr.. Merrill, who represents
this government at Honolulu. 1t is
stated that at a dinner given by an
English gentleman at Honolulu, a,
which number of English and
United States naval officers were
present, Mr.. Merrill was SO enthu-
siastic that the host felt obliged to
bring the festive occasion to a very
abrupt end. The correspondent who
describes the affair thinks it very un-
fortunate that just at this juncture,
when revolution is taking place in
the Hawaiian Islands, we should be
represented there by a man who is
not possessed of sufficient self
respect to maintain the dignity of
his Office. It seems to be another
illustration of the folly of letting
politics have anything whatever to do
with our diplomatic service.

THE L" BOOM,
How 1t Was Engineered in the Cali
fernia Towns-Big Fortunes Made In
Real Estate.

Real Estate.
A letter to the editor of the TIMES
from San Jose, California, gives an in
side history of the boom there, and
how it was started.
1t took one year of hard work to
start it. At first the real estate own
ers subscribed $4,000 for advertising
or "boom" editions of their local pa
pers. About 100000 copies of these
we're sent to individual addresses OBJ
tanned from the mercantile agency
books, city directories, etc., by a
committee appointed and paid for
the purpose. AS this did not 90 far
enough, $4,000 additional was SUBJ
scribed and spent in printing more
boom editions of the Daily and
Weekly Mercury, pamphlets descrip-
tive of the country, its resources, etc.
Trustworthy men were then sent to
the Eastern cities, to see that these
we're properly distributed, to secure
excursion rates from the railroads, and
have boom articles published in the
leading papers.
Before the fund was exhausted, the
effect of all this advertising began to
be felt. Money seeking investment
poured into the local banks, train.load
after train.load of wealthy people
and invalids began to arrive, new bust
ness houses we're opened, and money
became so easy that any piece of
property could be mortgaged for
more than it was held at year ago.
The funds thus obtained were again
invested, more investors arrived, and
values kept advancing. Land that
year ago went a-begging for $50 an
acre cannot now be bought for $500
cash, and the boom has scarcely CON-
menced.
Prior to the boom scarcely two real
estate firms made more than a living;
now there are over 80, all making
money"hand over fist, and more going
into business almost daily. The daily
sales sometimes exceed 81, 100000,
property frequently changing hands
three or four times the same day at
higher figures than before.
All the people are in the real estate
business; there being hardly a man,
woman or child in town but what has
one or more lots for sale.
Other towns and counties in Cali
fornia are taking measures to boom
themselves. San Francisco has been
quietly taking stock of herself, as it
were, and is about to start with a
quarter-million dollars; and in few
months there will be such an excite
ment there as was never seen before
on the Coast since the DAYS of the
big bonanza excitement.
The boom, it is believed, has but
just begun; but SO many places and
localities have gone into the business
that the more conservative people be-
gin to fear a reaction. This they do
not look for, for a year or so; but
they think it is bound to come.
